you didn't. dog is voiced by simon farnaby, the bloke with the conker for a head / head of pieface records in mighty boosh. (i have seen him twice walking about hammersmith, both times on a pelican crossing going in the opposite direction)

koogs, Monday, 6 December 2010 11:31 (fifteen years ago)

oh he's quite funny, or at least quite a likeable bloke in general. i just don't think a slobbering pet dog should be used to advertise quite-sloppy made-for-humans breakfast cereals. And then "get it down ya boy" is just... I don't know, it makes me feel really sick.

dunno how widespread it is but over here renault are running an absolute embarrassment of an ad comprising 90 seconds of meaningless random free love and let's all get along pseudo environmentalist platitudes over the obligatory clips of happy kids and norwegian executive golfers.

This kinda makes me want to do horrible things to everyone involved in this advert. Including me for having such a violent reaction to something as painfully unimportant as an smug annoying advert.

All the Miller Lite ads where hot girls insult their customers (the ones who dress in 80's clothes and do things that no actual human being has ever done)

eh, you know the paul whitehouse aviva insurance ads which are puportedly humorous and consist of him being unfunny and doing daft voices? well they've not been great, wouldn't say the worst though. however today i saw the life insurance one, and fuck me, they only have whitehouse as a father watching over his family as they leave for a holiday, enumerating all the different ways they will be provided for, because dun dun dun, he's pan bread and he's talking about his life insurance policy. just horrible, especially because it's jarring in contrast to what had came before.

does he wear an hilarious false nose in the afterlife? it seems reasonable that the conclusion of his painful 10-year journey into deep, rounded characters and no jokes is a bunch of shitty adverts.

Guy in the hat is Gaz Coombes from Supergrass.

Yes but I still don't understand

Bernard V. O'Hare (dog latin), Sunday, 30 January 2011 14:41 (fifteen years ago)

Boyfriend gets toast and jam all over the fascia of girlfriend's Toyota Yaris. Girlfriend gets revenge by deliberately taking a bad photo of boyfriend with Gaz Coombes.

Yea I don't understand either. The girlfriend should be happy that her boyfriend made the interior of her car slightly less boring by the application of breakfast condiments and toasted bread products. And Gaz Coombes? Guess that Liam was unavailable.

Les centimètres énigmatiques (snoball), Sunday, 30 January 2011 14:50 (fifteen years ago)

It's basically yet another car ad that tells us nothing at all about the product.

whitehouse as a father watching over his family as they leave for a holiday, enumerating all the different ways they will be provided for, because dun dun dun, he's pan bread

Funnily enough, I 'got' that he was brown immediately. And I didn't even know why until I saw the ad again. There is a subtle clue in the first shot.

So, for that kind of attention to detail, it gets a half-point from me.

Mark G, Wednesday, 9 February 2011 10:04 (fifteen years ago)

The three passports?

Bill A, Wednesday, 9 February 2011 11:08 (fifteen years ago)

yep.

Probably being a family of four, I clicked straightaway.

Mark G, Wednesday, 9 February 2011 11:11 (fifteen years ago)

It took me until the second viewing to catch that detail. First time round I was all like "oh no...he's not...surely they cannot deem this suitable for an ad??".

And Gaz Coombes? Guess that Liam was unavailable.

God, if only if could have been a cameo from Noel, ideally as he emerges from a Londis or betting shop.

Just saw the Yell advert. Don't understand the haterz tbh, I thought it was kinda sweet.

전승 Complete Victory (in Battle) (NotEnough), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 20:41 (fifteen years ago)

Fuck that Virgin Mobile ad that has some voiceover guy speaking the lyrics to 'House Of Fun' by Madness.

Jennifer Saunders' 'Choccy Philly I'll Do Anything For Money Don't Be Silly' ad. When I want to smear excrement coloured chocolate gunk on bread, I buy a jar of Nutella, thank you very much. Also I have one of those purple plastic megaphones. Only £9.99 from Maplin, what a bargain.

going for amazing... but hearing people repeating that, even once, would change my mind

I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 22:33 (fourteen years ago)

I saw that ad for the first time the other day. I'm going for terrible.

Going for terrible. Physically cringing here.

The bit where he threw the tea out of the window was funny, they should have made the advert more like "oh, this tea is shite <throws tea out of window> what you want is... Aldi Cheap-o Tea!"
